The Festival of the Greasy Pole
This novel is one of the most important statements about the Duvalier regime in Haiti, written by a Haitian who played a prominent role in the revolutionary movement that brought down the Lescot regime in January 1946. The Festival of the Greasy Pole includes a scathing caricature of Papa Doc Duvalier and the bloodbath that he visited on his own country.
